Suspect in Custody After Lengthy SWAT Standoff in Santee

In a tense and drawn-out ordeal, law enforcement officers successfully resolved a SWAT standoff in Santee, bringing the suspect into custody without incident. The incident, which unfolded at an apartment complex located on Fanita Drive, kept residents on edge for hours before reaching a peaceful conclusion.

The ordeal began when authorities received a call in the early hours of the morning, around 2:30 a.m., prompting a response to the apartment complex.

However, the situation escalated, leading to law enforcement leaving the scene briefly before being urgently called back around 3 a.m. The subsequent return of officers indicated a significant development that demanded immediate attention.

Upon their arrival, officers discovered that both a woman and a man were inside the apartment complex, heightening concerns about the unfolding situation.

As the standoff unfolded, authorities worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of all individuals involved while also attempting to peacefully resolve the situation.

By 9 a.m., authorities successfully escorted the woman out of the premises, alleviating concerns about her safety. However, the male suspect, identified as Vincent Alcarez, 31, remained inside the apartment, prolonging the standoff.

In their efforts to coax the suspect out peacefully, law enforcement utilized various tactics, including loud noises and the deployment of chemical agents.
